From this image it appears as if the boom which normally sticks up at a tangent (see bottom photo) has been severed near the jib end and the supporting stay/cabling holding the boom horizontal has failed or been cut. With the stay gone, this has resulted in the boom swinging down, it being retained at the cab end.



"IF" the point of contact is where the jib is severed in the photo above this would mean that the helicopter "PROBABLY" stuck the crane somewhere in the region contained within the black box in the photo below.






Indications that the pilot's name may be released soon.
